Letter of the Day: Letter H, K and Wrap Up
I try to incorporate reading, music, art, gratitude, exercise, nature, touch, and a family activity into teaching the assigned letter. We actually spend two days on one letter, so we have enough time for all the fun activities and all the regular things that goes on in our day to day life. Then after a couple letters we have a day where we play a treasure hunt all with clues reviews the letters we have done.
Here are some ideas for Letter H and K
Reading: We read our Letter H Sound Box Book and Letter K Sound Box Book along with these:
Music:We listened to Laurie Berkner’s Laurie Has a Pig on her Head
and Kookaburra
Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Merry, merry king of the bush is he
Laugh, Kookaburra! Laugh, Kookaburra!
Gay your life must beKookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Eating all the gum drops he can see
Stop, Kookaburra! Stop, Kookaburra!
Leave some there for meKookaburra sits in the old gum tree
Counting all the monkeys he can see
Stop, Kookaburra! Stop, Kookaburra!
That’s not a monkey that’s meKookaburra sits on a rusty nail
Gets a boo-boo in his tail
Cry, Kookaburra! Cry, kookaburra!
Oh how life can be
Exercise: Hopscotch and KARATE!!!
Family Activity: We flew kites….well tried, it is windier where we live but it is still in the dead of summer.
Celebration: We reviewed all of the letters in our regular treasure hunt we do, click here for instructions.
